| In a hard-braking situation, brakes failed - no discernable decceleration at all, pushing harder than i've ever had to before. this made for rear-ending the guy ahead of me. forensics invetigator w/ mech found odb dtcs showed only p0a8d and b1318 - one of which shows a low voltage to abs system. multiple reports of this with escape hybrid owners. i wonder if it is related to the ford fusion hybrid failures? this occured at 10-15 mph. what happens at 60? local dealership declares your brakes check out fine and there's no evidence of brake failure. really? how about that radiator and grill that need repair and that quarterpanel sticking out of the right side? evidence enough? i'd like to see this issue root-caused before somebody gets seriously hurt. | |||

| I have a 2008 mercury mariner hybrid. sometimes when i apply the brakes with medium pressure the left rear of the vehicle will vibrate so hard it rattles the trim in the storage area. it is as though the abs is operating only on that wheel but much more pronounced than when the abs normally actuates. there is no consistency as to when or where this condition occurs. it will not happen for days, then will occur every time i brake for a time period (no particular length). | |||
